Dumb ass lyrics. Do they bug you like they bug me? Sometimes I hear a song with a great groove and I feel it  . But upon further inspection - I listen to the lyrics and I cringe  .
Help me by naming dumb ass lyrics in otherwise good songs.  | |

Anything from the Black Eyed Peas last two cds....I will never understand for the life of me how a song called "My Humps" became a worldwide sensation | |

About 1995 - 2000 there was a lot of techno dance songs with very short and meaning less lyrics. Some examples are Shortdick man, Lick it by 20 Fingers with Roula, Sing Hallejulah by Dr Alban and virtually anything by air and daft punk. The Prodigy also had some less than complex lyrics. The prize goes to two songs 1999's sing it back by Moloko "Sing it back, bring it back, sing it back to me" and 2000's Two times by Ann ??? "I come alone, see u on the wall, me and Tea Leoni we the only ones" it sounds like and the song is mostly "Two times" with a techno beat. Seriously dance music equals dumb. There is also Freestylers by ????? "Which goes - rock rocking on the microphone, freestyler, rock rock rock rocking on da microphone"
Sad thing is, as dumb ass as these songs sound, I love them [Edited 4/14/09 2:26am] So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |

don't bugs me, cause I can switch off the part of my brain that understands English. Then I realize the words as meaningless syllables. | |

Yes!
And ANYTHING by Soujaboy!  "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

These ones kinda threw me for a loop:
Mint Condition: "Is it real or turkey sausage." Musiq Soulchild: "You look like yo mamma raised you on them grits and chicken." Lucy Pearl: "All I wanna do is wear my own cologne." Doug E Fresh: "I'm in yo gut like da twinkie wit da fillin'" (from the "Come On" remix) TTD: "O Jacaranda, I wanna be yo panda." | |

A dumb lyric that I always hated was in Van Halen's "Why Can't This Be Love?": "Only time will tell if we stand the test of time." Duh.
Also, anything that uses the tired "Throw your hands up in the air/And wave 'em like you just don't care" couplet has gotta go. Finally, Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars": "If I just lay here" should be "If I just lie here." I know a lot of people mess that up, but couldn't they have asked somebody before they recorded their stupidity for posterity? | |

One that has always bugged me was from Jagged Edge's "Let's Get Married" :
"Meet me at the altar in your white dress, We ain't gettin no younger, so we might as well do it." Yeah, that one's going to last. Prince Rogers Nelson
Sunrise: June 7, 1958 Sunset: April 21, 2016 ~My Heart Loudly Weeps "My Creativity Is My Life." ~ Prince Life is merely a dress rehearsal for eternity. | |

 Fergie: "I'm soo 3008; you're soo 2000 and late." If that's the case, then 3008 is really going to suck balls. Prince Rogers Nelson

As much as I like the song, the chorus to "You Are Not Alone" really doesn't make much sense when read:
"You are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart You are not alone." I get the meaning behind it, but when you read it; it's like 'Duuh...huh?"  [Edited 4/14/09 15:44pm] Prince Rogers Nelson

Yeah, it was like, "Well, since I'm old and have done all the girls...err I mean, things that I can no longer do, let's just get married." Pretty insulting, but I still listen to it and laugh everytime. Prince Rogers Nelson

"God Given" - Nine Inch Nails.
Thought that song was bad ass on the first round, but when I actually listened to the lyrics, they were cliched and facepalm-worthy.  I'm afraid of Americans. I'm afraid of the world. | |

I grew up listening to the Four Tops, but when U're a kid U don't pay attention to meaning... One day, not too long ago, a station was playing songs from back in the day: "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I Got)" "...I would kiss the ground she walks on 'Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now..." "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

That can't be. They're a heterosexual couple. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

That line almost ruins the song for me. It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
